Chicago car fire 1-15-12

On a Sunday afternoon, I happened to be at Engine 91's station when we received an emergency call about a car fire on Kostner Avenue near Parker. As soon as we arrived at the scene, I noticed that the vehicle was already heavily engulfed in flames. Before the firefighters started spraying water on it, I quickly grabbed my camera to capture some photos of the situation. The intense flames made it clear that this wasn’t going to be an easy job.

Firefighters worked efficiently to bring the inferno under control, their determination evident in every move they made. Watching them maneuver hoses and apply steady pressure to douse the flames was both impressive and humbling. [Image: Firefighters from Engine 91 prepare their equipment and begin tackling the blaze.

This final step is crucial in preventing rekindling—a common occurrence after major fires like this one.

It's always fascinating to document these moments where courage meets challenge, especially when lives and property are at stake. Capturing such scenes not only serves as a record but also helps raise awareness about the risks associated with vehicle fires and the dedication of those who fight them.
